I shake my head at myself.What the hell am I doing? Now I’m reassuring her?
I can’t explain why, but it feels imperative for her to know this. So, like a fucking crazy person, I whisper, “He couldn’t even be with me.”
I turn and start to make my way out. Just as I reach the door joining the music room, I hear her laugh coming from the still-playing CD and swear she says,“He already was.”
Twenty-One
POSSESS
LIKE THE HOUNDS of hell are after me, I run up the stairs two at a time. I turn sharply into the hall, heading back up to my piece of privacy in this place. When I start to make my way pasthisroom, the door swings open. He reaches out and grabs my arm, pulling me inside.
As I’m tugged into the pitch dark, I hear the door slam as my back is thrown against it. I can’t see anything. I’ve gone from a brightly lit space to complete inky darkness. All I can hear is breathing—his and mine.Without a sound uttered, I feel him reach down my body to grip the journal I’m still hanging on to.
“Give it to me,” he demands softly.
I relinquish my hold and hear a soft thump. I know he has dropped it on the floor. I can barely make him out in front of me, so I can’t see the expression on his face, but the mood in the room is tense. I’m disturbed, and he’s explosive.
His fingers start to trace down, whisper soft, from my temples to my cheekbones. He reaches my jaw, and then his mouth is there. Lips to skin, he presses a gentle kiss to the right side of my jaw. His touch is in direct contrast to the waves of agitation I feel rolling off him. As he shifts, a small burst of air ruffles my hair. He’s planted his palms on both sides of my head.I can feel my traitorous body pulsating as my pussy starts to throb.
I’m turned on.This mysterious and intimidating man has me pinned to his bedroom door, surrounded by shadows, and I want him inside of me.
“If you want to leave, leave now.”
The warning in his voice rumbles over my tightly strung nerves. When I make no move to go, he lets out a chuckle that’s low, disturbing, and, God help me, sexier than anything I have ever heard.
“In that case, while you’re in here, you are mine.”
I can’t help my needy sigh as his mouth moves above mine. His warm breath floats across my lips.
“Do you want to be mine?”
I close my eyes.He’s fucking with me now.I know I can’t be his. He knows he can’t offer that to me, but he seems to like playing this fucked-up game. When I don’t respond, that wicked chuckle escapes again as he tugs apart my ripped blouse. His warm palm cups my breast and squeezes it tightly.
“Spread your legs,” he says gruffly.
The hand at my breast slides down to palm my aching mound, pressing firmly against it.
“Are you ready for me, Gemma? Did arguing with me make you wet? It made my cock hard, and now I want to put it in you. What do you think about that?”
I bite my bottom lip in an attempt to keep my mouth shut. It’s almost embarrassing how ready I am. While his strong hand grinds over my covered flesh, he lowers his head.
“Now then, no one is in here to watch me fuck the blonde. So, what do you say, Gemma? Are you going to let me get in between your long, sexy legs?”
I moan and feel my lips part as he wraps his arm around my waist and rubs my ass. He tugs me forward, pushing his hard cock against me.
“Or maybe you want me here, hmm?”
I feel my heart accelerate at the implication.
“No answers from you? You were so talkative only minutes ago. What happened?”
Refusing to answer, I reach out with determined hands. I smooth them up and over his shoulders, where I grip him, drawing him down to me. His mouth opens over mine, and immediately, his tongue is inside. I grasp his shoulders tightly, feeling my body weep as his tongue rubs against mine sinuously.
I’m going crazy. I want this man to possess me. I want him inside of me. I want him any way I can get him.
Feeling his sweater under my hands, I find I’m getting frustrated because I want skin. I wanthim.Pulling my mouth from his, I pant, “Take this off.”
Releasing me, he steps back as I remain propped against the door. Not wanting to waste any time, I undo my pants and push them off, along with my panties. After stepping out of them, I stand back up, and he’s there in front of me. He gets as close to me as possible, and I feel his naked body on mine. His engorged length presses into my stomach while his hands move back up to frame both sides of my head. He dips his legs and drags his cock back and forth against me.
